1. In the CloudStack UI, Enable maintenance mode of the zone you are using. 2. In the CloudStack UI, Enable maintenance mode of the host you are using. 3. In the CloudStack UI, Delete the host. 4. In the XenCenter client, shutdown and delete the VMs in the host (if not done already by CS). 5. In the XenCenter client, in the Storage tab, right click on the storage that maps to the primary storage you have configured (my case it was NFS, if it is local storage you can leave it) and "Forget" it. 6. In the XenServer's console, run the following command to remove the tag > > xe host-param-clear uuid=<hostid> param-name=tags 6. In the CloudStack UI, Add the host back 7. In the CloudStack UI, Disable the maintenance mode of the zone.
